Ode to Cassette Tape
Sunday, 22 June 2008
Cassette
 

Dear Compact Cassette, Cassette Tape, Dear Cassy,
We’ve been through a whole lot, you and me.
You’ve been with me through good times and bad,
Which is why writing this makes me so sad.
See, I’ve been thinking of telling you this for a while,
But so many people think you’re out of style.
I’m holding on to the memories, the times that we’ve been through.
This is my tribute, my ode to you...

The Minoriteam – A Diagnostic Critique
Sunday, 25 May 2008

Warning: The following is a diagnostic critique of the above animation, which was initially submitted as short paper for a cultural studies graduate course. It's intention was to analyse race, gender and class representation, therefore reading the critique may have the effect of eliminating all entertainment value from the episode. This is by no means intended to condemn or even support the animation (although I do actually think it's brilliant), but is merely a critique. For those who wish merely to enjoy the animation, ignore the analysis. Those who wish to read through the critique are encouraged to leave a comment.

[Source:thefreedictionary.com

In a world where way less than half of the people are living it large, and way more than half of the people are hardly living. What is luxury really? Sometimes I feel like I'm living a life of luxury. Not luxury according to the above definition, well not exactly anyway. Let me explain....

Thought I would change the pace a bit and write about snails today. Did you know that they can live up to 15 years? I think they're pretty cool...
